Which bike next for me?

Shoei · 10 Jan 2006 at 14:30

well done.
You'll enjoy the CBR.
I ran a CBR600FJ for a few years and it was great. Used in all weathers, never let me down once.

Not had any time, been having far too much fun

They will be up in good time I promise.

Bikers Meet '06 will be being discussed in a few weeks time, there isnt much point in starting a thread now for a meet that will most probably happen in May

Sorry for the long delay, been a very busy man recently

I really do like that! I dont like that many bikes aswell, just the style i like from a bike.

L Plate · 15 Jan 2006 at 20:19

Doesnt look like its too hard a life either, not if the chicken strips are anything to go by

Come the spring you will want to change them anyway to something that will give a bit better grip than them chunks

lukechad · 15 Jan 2006 at 20:22

I was waiting for a comment about those, I am slowly getting more confidence on the bike but this time of year isnt the best to scrub off the ode strips, I will wait for a dry AND warm day before I try getting it over a bit.

vote for gsx-r 600 here wicked bikes my m8 used to have one, luke u might know him

justin tivey?

lukechad · 15 Jan 2006 at 20:30

Its a bit late Tizor mate, the bike is mine and that was taken on my drive.

Do you still have a bike at all mate? Fancy a ride anytime?

Justin Tivey doesnt ring a bell but I know and Ben and David Tivey who are 17/18, are they any relation to justin?

Locky · 15 Jan 2006 at 20:32

no m8, but ive not got a bike atm plan to purchase one close to the sumer, mayb a gsx-r 750 [nice ride to matlock or bassets pole] <--- if thats how u spell it

Scozzer · 15 Jan 2006 at 20:35

Nice bike dude, love the front end on them, specially the air intakes

Looks like you've chosen a cracking example.

lukechad · 15 Jan 2006 at 20:35

OcUK Bikers meet 06 should be happening in May time

That is if we get enough interest in it.

Locky · 15 Jan 2006 at 20:37

also do u live on briz vally by any chance?

lukechad · 15 Jan 2006 at 20:39

I do mate yes. I am just off the island at Tesco Express, coming from winshill its the exit to the right.

Freefaller · 15 Jan 2006 at 21:26

Looks nice dude. :cool:

Very tidy. Get rid of that center stand though

lukechad · 16 Jan 2006 at 10:27

It comes in very handy for cleaning the bike though, and at this time of year it needs cleaning weekly so I am going to keep it on until the weather picks up and it doesnt need as much cleaning

Cheers for all the comments, I am very happy with it so far

Shoei · 16 Jan 2006 at 11:38

centre stands are also good for oiling the chain and numerous other jobs.
Had to remove the centre stand on my cbr6 when i put the micron exhaust system on. Made life a lot harder for sorting the chain out.
Get a chain oiler for the cbr luke, saves a lot of time and hassle and money.

Blown the battery on my NC30 :eek:

so im hoping the reg/rec and alternator are ok, thats biggest problem with NC30's, the charging system is prone to self destruct.
Oh and buy an Optimate, well worth it.
